In order for this process to proceed it will be necessary for the two property owners involved to initiate an action with the County of Santa Clara Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). LAFCO will have to approve a boundary reorganization request. Letters from both jurisdictions supporting your request are attached.

Kotowski City of Campbell 70 North First Street Campbell, CA 95008 Re: De-Annexation of Property from the City of San Jose to the City of Campbell, 271 and 295 North San Tomas Aquino Road Dear Mayo owskiJ~~ Please excuse the delay in responding to the original letter from then Mayor Ashworth to Mayor McEnery regarding this matter. The letter was either not received or misplaced in his office prior to the beginning of ~ tenure as Mayor. According to Mayor Ashworth's letter, the owners of the properties at 271 and 295 North San Tomas Aquino Road, located within San Jose's jurisdiction, have petitioned the City of Campbell for annexation. You mention the property owners have cited as reasons their mailing address in Campbell and problems with police and fire service. It is my understanding that this request is at the behest of the property owner at 255 North San Tomas Aquino, located in Campbell. The property owner at 255 North San Tomas Aquino had contacted the City of San Jose at an earlier date to inquire about de-annexing a portion of the adjoining parcel (located in San Jose). That portion of the adjoining parcel, together with his existing lot area, would have allowed the property owner at 255 North San Tomas Aquino to apply for a two-lot subdivision. City of San Jose staff extensively reviewed the situation; however, there was and is no method to subdivide such a small portion under any zoning lot size criteria. The property owner was also informed that such a change would require the concurrence of the City of Campbell, the City of San Jose and as a Boundary Adjustment Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approval. co -ate.. ~~ Mayor Michael F. Kotowski Page 2 of 2 Mayor Susan Hammer July 2, 1991 Although it is the policy of the City of San Jose to support de-annexations only in those situations where there is a reciprocal exchange of like territory, population, or tax base, we are willing to support the de-annexation of both 271 and 295 North San Tomas Aquino Road. The reasons for support of the de-annexation are based on the extremely small size of this parcel, its triangular configuration, which is surrounded on two of three sides by the City of Campbell, and potential confusion about address ranges in an emergency situation. According to our Communications staff, there is an ongoing problem with address ranges in the North San Tomas Aquino Road area. This matter has been brought to the attention of the City of Campbell in the past. I hope this de-annexation will ensure that there is no misunderstanding in the future. In reviewing this request, it was determined that these properties are located adjacent to an "Autoaid" area, and fire services would be provided by the City of San Jose regardless of the jurisdiction in which the parcels are located. I would like to emphasize that differing legal jurisdictions and mailing addresses are common throughout the Bay Area, and Boundary Adjustments should not be made based solely on this criteria.

Reasons cited for their request include the fact that the properties have a Campbell mailing address, and that some problems have arisen regarding the provision of police and fire protection to the area. Their request also cites that annexation of their properties to Campbell would "clean up" the boundaries between the two jurisdictions. As you are aware, approval of a boundary reorganization of this nature requires the approval of both cities as well as the Local Agency Formation Commission. At its meeting of May 15, 1990, the Campbell City Council took minute action indicating our City's willingness to anaex the two parcels should the San Jose City Council agree to deannexation. In addition, the Campbell Council authorized me to send this letter to you and to request that you indicate your position with regard to deannexing the area.

Minute Action - Reorganization of Territory - Detachment from San Jose and Annexation to Campbell - 271 and 295 N. San Tomas Aquino Road - Las Positas 90-01. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council take the following actions: 1. Take minute action indicating the City's willingness to initiate reorganization (i.e. annexation) of the two parcels shown in Exhibit "A", if the City Council of the City of San Jose agrees to deannex the properties. 2. Authorize the Mayor to send the attached letter to the San Jose City Council requesting San Jose to consider deannexing the two properties. STAFF DISCUSSION: Background: Staff has received a letter dated April 17, 1990, in which property owners on North San Tomas Aquino Road indicate their desire to have two parcels of land annexed to the City of Campbell. The two parcels, as shown in Exhibit "A", are currently in the City of San Jose. ' Should the Council agree to annexing the area into the City of Campbell, the following procedures will be necessary in order to bring about the change in jurisdiction: 1. The Campbell City Council must indicate its willingness to accept the area for annexation, and must formally request the San Jose City Council to agree to deannex the property. 2. If both cities agree to the reorganization, then an application for the exchange of territory will be filed with LAFCO for approval (or denial). Mayor Issues• Public: As stated in the letter from the property owners, the parcels are in the City of San Jose but have a Campbell mailing address. This situation has caused some problems for at least one of the property owners. In addition, street improvements (curb, gutter ~ permanent sidewalk) are not installed on San Tomas Aquino Road in front of the subject properties. Annexation to Campbell may he]~p facilit the development of these properties and the installati n of st et provements Approved by Department .~ • Approved by City Manager Las Positas 90-01 Page 2. Staff: The annexation of the two parcels to the City of Campbell will straighten the boundaries between the two cities, and should simplify the provision of urban services. Costs: The proponents of the reorganization have been advised that they will be responsible for all costs incurred in these proceedings. These costs will include preparation of the map and legal description, fees required by the County Surveyor's Office, LAFCO filing fees, and fees to the State Board of Equalization. Attachments: 1.

San Tomas Aquino Road from San Jose to the City of Campbell. I have contacted San Jose on this issue and their response was that they would only consider de-annexation of the complete parcel, (APN 307-18-051), copy attached. Since our telephone conversation last week, I have reviewed this matter in some detail. It appears to me to be more desirable to all parties concerned to annex the two parcels (APN 307-18-051 and 307-18-050). This would clean up the city boundries in this area along with a number of other benefits. The owners of these two parcels are very favorable to this change. The Waltons have an on going problem with police and fire protection, etc., do to their property being in San Jose and their mailing address being Campbell. Please advise me of the necessary steps to take to annex this property. IIery-truly yours, Donald E. McPherson Concerned Property Owners: APN 307-18-052 Donald E. McPherson 255 N.
